Right, nobody makes big extensive lists with commentary and formatting in order to look cool.

I bet you also believe nobody smokes cigarettes to look cool.  Because it is a scientific fact that smoking makes you look cool.  In fact, it's pretty much the only valid reason I can think of to smoke.  It's why I never want a cigarette unless I'm out at a bar or club.

God, I wish people would get over their fears of seeming "shallow" and admit this shit to themselves.

that's jumping to a conclusion (and generalising) a bit, isn't it?

personally, i find half the fun of listening to music is being able to share it with others, and discovering new stuff myself.  and also having interesting discussions.  those are the reasons i post lists etc. on here.  fuck knows a lot of what made up my list in the listravaganza thread is hardly considered cool on this forum.

Hyperbole and irony are frequently used tools of satire.

Everyone.

that post back there wasn't satire.  it was just sarcastic and bitter.  then again, i guess either of us could be right, what with the whole "impossible to tell people's emotion/mood through just text" thing.

Thrillho:
I was watching a really bad stand-up comedian once, and at one point in his set when a joke didn't get a laugh he suddenly said 'oh I'm sorry, that was satirical'. The entire crowd cracked up and the rest of his set was great. I still don't know if it was on purpose, but my friends and I were saying 'oh, I'm sorry, that was satirical' for weeks afterwards.
